Schedule 4, 195.2 (1) adds bureaucracy by requiring all municipalities to seek permission to install bike lanes on whatever roads could be designated as a "highway" by the Minister, and subsection 4 increases the risk of collisions at community or on local roads. People live and work here, so make it livable, and easier to work drive/bike/commute/transport your self here. Contrast the language in the bill with doing the work to simply installing barrier separated bike lanes to better demarcate the road and improve the road speeds. This basically assumes from the jump, a bike lane doesn't offer any benefit to drivers, when it literally would move them out of the way..

Keeping barrier separated bike lanes wouldn't degrade overall road safety either and would likely improve traffic flow, since that is the justification for the extra powers and uploading of bike lanes to the Minister. Other suggestions here include increase traffic flow along roads that have bike lanes such as better timing of intersections to let drivers drive more efficiently and prevent dismantling of good infrastructure that everybody has to fund one way or another..

You physically can not go faster on roads which are gridlocked anyway, regardless of bike lanes being present or not. Why does everybody who uses the road environment have to suffer in the worst possible way by removing transportation infrastructure when practical solutions are being proposed that offer flexibility or options?
